The trip combines with World heritage of Ha Long Bay. Located in the Gulf of Tonkin, the bay covers an area of 1500 square km. With more than a thousand limestone peaks soaring from its crystalline emerald water this area is one of the natural wonders of Vietnam and now a World Heritage listed site.
